about
KN Root Beer
In the spring of 1948 Leslie Knutson built his first drive-in in Marshfield, Wisconsin. After moving to Longview, Texas in 1951, Les built the first KN Root Beer with the KN being based on his last name. KN began to grow as a franchise with more restaurants opening in Texas, Louisiana, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Tennessee. By 1975 there were 30 drive-ins in operation. We hope you enjoy our rich history and stop by for and ice old mug of root beer made from our own hand picked flavors!

Our Root Beer flavor was hand picked to include many notes of flavor. With Cherry bark, sweet birch, and liquorish root alongside other herbs and spices, our Root Beer stands above the rest.
